Roy, I did some quick research -- apparently this is a problem with Win2K (that is by no means limited to OpenVPN) that sometimes occurs when you uninstall network components. There are a lot of articles on the web about it. For example: http://www.hewie.net/views/wifi.html I mention this because there's a proposed solution at the end of the article called WinsockFix. You might want to try this, as I know that the one other report than I heard about this issue was apparently resolved by WinsockFix. Let us know what happens, as I would really like to learn enough about this that I could harden against it happening with OpenVPN install/uninstall. BTW, vklengh, are you out there? This sounds like something you reported on a while back. James Roy Thompson <royt@xxxxxxxxxx> said: > Someone tried to install OpenVPN ver1.5 on my Windows 2000 Server.
